    grannynurse FNP student replied to mkcrturner's topic in Florida Nursing

    grannynurse FNP student replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  6. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have followed this thread, with interest, and some dismay. Almost everyone as decried the demeaning of wearing a button. Almost no one has addressed the real problem-that nosocomial infections are...

    Try Manatee County but the rent will not be that much lower. Has easy access to I75 then to the Crosstown Expressway. You might want to look in Brabdon.

  9. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  10. RN's w/chronic pain, using narcotics

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SRbear's topic in Pain Management

  11. RN's w/chronic pain, using narcotics

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SRbear's topic in Pain Management

    Sorry but I do not understand your response. And no, I am not currently taking a narcotic. My point, there are many people, who legally use narcotics and function well, in their given professions....

  12. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Considering that a friend of mine, who is not a nurse, was infected with MRSA infection, while in the hospital. I do not consider this button an insult. Neither the RNs, LPNs, residents or attending...

  14. Does medicare pay for safety products in the home?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Safety rails do not generally fall under durable medical equipment. This is not to say Medicare will not cover them. The best thing to do is call them. Grannynurse

  15. RN's w/chronic pain, using narcotics

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SRbear's topic in Pain Management

  17. adding to doctors orders... legal or not?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SRbear's topic in Pain Management
